In 1890 & 1892, Harry Fielding Reid traveled to Glacier Bay, Alaska. During the expedition, Reid mapped Glacier Bay, collaborated with John Muir, measured the movement of the glaciers, created sketches and made photographs of the glaciers, and produced 24 notebooks. The National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) has transcribed these expedition notebooks, so you can follow along with Reid's expeditions and experience Glacier Bay as he saw it over 100 years ago!
Journal I : Expedition to Glacier Bay, Alaska, Summer 1890
August 7th
Thursday. The Queen arrived today early; a little later the Elder steamed up. She had run ashore twice since we were on her; hence the delay. Prof. Wells of Union College came on the Queen. In the afternoon McBride and I went to E with the plane table and camera. I got a few photographs and continued work on the map.
